Most people consider themselves to be reasonably logical, but from what I have learned from the Attorney Webinar is most people are unarmed when it comes to legal logic. And going it alone should not be an option !

Review from Google · view on GoogleI called for an initial consultation. The lady was rude and talked to me as if I was supposed to already know the law. She was condescending and patronized me when I asked questions. She didn’t tell me anything about payment plans and definitely didn’t want my business. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, go to them!! Big waste of time and depletes any hope you might have. Don’t pay for someone to be on your team who clearly doesn’t want to be. **This is not a fake review just because you “checked with your staff”. This was very real and I would never trust anyone I care about to be put in the hands of Grieve. Very disconnected from people and turned me off being new to this whole process. I was treated as if I couldn’t afford the services. I was with a co-worker when I was speaking with your representative and even my co-worker thought her responses were rude. Try better next time to keep your “perfect” 5 star rating. I’ll be seeking out personal references instead. **

Review from Google · view on GoogleI have had the opportunity to listen to a number of online seminars with Attorney Tom Grieve. He is very good about answering questions succinctly. I most appreciate when there might not be one clear answer to a question he is quick to explain possible answers and under what circumstances these might apply.

Appreciate it Chuck! I always try to cover the different angles!
